Detailed Solution

The first Indian newspaper was brought out by Gangadhar Bhattacharya.
By the end of the eighteenth century, several newspapers and journals were in print. Some Indians also published Indian newspapers. The weekly Bengal Gazette, published by Gangadhar Bhattacharya, a close friend of Rammohun Roy, was the first newspaper.
James Augustus Hickey started editing the Bengal Gazette in 1780. It described itself as "a commercial paper open to all, but influenced by none." Thus, English printing in India was first introduced by a private English company proud of its independence from imperial influence.
